Quantum flats

← Progressive flats
Rebade →

Offers a single word (not a homographic or homophonous pair) that has at least two spellings or two pronunciations; the meaning of the word does not change. The same orthographic transformation is applied to each spelling or the same phonetic transformation is applied to each pronunciation to yield new words. The quantum word is enumerated in <angle brackets>. A cueword in the verse represents every form of the quantum word, but it is not overloaded because it represents a single word. Example: Quantum Transposal (<4>, 4; <4>, 4) → icon, coin; ikon, oink. Quantum flats were introduced by G Natural and Wrybosh in 2006.
